Study of inherited heart conditions in children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies children with inherited (genetic) heart conditions that started before age 16. It may help improve how doctors identify the genetic cause and understand which families are affected.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a confirmed inherited heart condition that began before age 16
- The heart condition is considered rare and likely caused by a single gene
- A parent or guardian is able to understand the study and give consent
- Genetic testing on a local heart-gene panel did not find a clear “ICC” gene result yet (genotype negative)
- You are a family member of someone with this inherited cardiac condition (affected or not)

This study looks at how personalized treatment plans based on your genes can help people with genetic heart conditions. If you have a heart problem caused by a single gene change, this study may help find the best care for you.
This study is for people with a specific genetic heart condition (PKP2-related arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy) who already have an ICD. It does not test a new treatment but instead follows participants over time to learn more about the condition.
This study looks at how proteins that connect heart cells are distributed in people with inherited heart rhythm disorders (and some family members who may carry the gene). It aims to better understand the biology behind these conditions, which may help improve risk assessment and future care.
This trial studies children with cardiomyopathy to better understand the condition. It's for children who have been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and who do not have other major heart problems or serious issues with other organs.
This study looks at people with unusual or rare heart problems, or people with a family history of these issues. Doctors and researchers may collect and study your blood or tissue (and possibly store samples) to learn what causes the condition and how it may affect the heart.
This study is looking for people with inherited heart muscle disease that may be genetic. It uses advanced genetic testing to better understand the cause.
